Barely Out of the Gate

I have just passed the three-week mark of my signing up with WA. My greatest challenges have been 1) learning a totally unfamiliar field--the world of online marketing, and 2) finding time to train, build a website, and be a contributing member of the community. I believe I have used my time to the best advantage. I understood that progress would be incremental in the beginning.

I have now completed the basic training and have a (very) basic web page. I am not totally satisfied with that website and still have little idea how it will rate. I definitely am still in the learning curve. However, I have learned much and have met many interesting and helpful people in the community, and have enjoyed the interaction immensely. This is my progress, that I have stuck my toes in the water and I am getting ready to wade out into the deep.

I think I need a buddy who has been successful creating traffic and generating income--but isn't that what everyone wishes for?

In the next three weeks, I would like to develop my website and learn how to place my affiliate advertising effectively. I would like my site to get favorable rating and generate at least some nominal sales from my website. I would like to see at least a few referrals to WA and recoup my expenses thus far. I would feel good about that. I hope that I also expand my relationships within the WA community and strengthen my rank toward Ambassador status.

I am grateful for my progress thus far, but certainly feel that I have far to go!
